Just wondering if anyone else is going away this weekend in SEQ. Knowing I'm not the only idiot planing to take the family out into an arctic blast will provide me with at least a little bit of comfort (we're heading up to Goomburra Valley).
Cheers
Jo Zero

Wouldn't that be an Antarctic blast..........just sayin.
Was thinking the same thing. If we were to get an Arctic Blast there would probably be a few other things to worry about as well.

And I think discretion is going to be the better part of valour this weekend - maybe we'll try again next week!

We are heading away this weekend in SEQ (Gold Coast Hinterland). The stock of fire wood is plentiful and the camper has a diesel heater so it is easy nowadays but we didn't without too much hassle pre-camper with woolen underlays on the air bed, wear a beanie etc and were completely fine at down to around the 0-2deg mark. Even got cuddles!! :-*

Nothing like a nice shady spot on the beach in summer wearing shorts and Tee shirt day and night. Plus beer always tastes better is summer.

Snow has been recorded at Bloomsbury mate. I can't tell you when exactly but it was a long time ago. Some old blokes up your way may remember as, in the early 80's, someone from Prossie told me.
Have a look at this & scroll down to Snowfalls. Mackay gets a mention!

Does help being a Pom who lives in Armidale so anywhere is warmer...

But on the positive I found a pair of socks to put on tonight to keep me warm here on the lounge watching the footy,geez I'm just wearing shorts and a t shirt, don't reckon it's that cold at all tonight myself. In saying that, I reckon our fire place might get a run on Sunday night though

Was only ash from a cane burn. Snow above the Capricorn line is a myth. The only reliable report is eungella but apparently it melted before making landfall

We have a jet master open fire in the new place and daughter asked can we get it going this weekend.
Might cut some wood tomorrow

Went camping here in SEQ as planned, didn't think the weather was anything to write home about....just your standard Winter temperature really
Yep, it wasnt that bad. Snowing at my brothers house in Mt Victoria though. Sent me a vid when i got home.
Post by: Coiled on June 26, 2016, 05:27:13 PM
5deg Friday night and 4deg Saturday night. Had a jumper but stayed in shorts the whole weekend albeit beside as blazing fire at night. Didn't even run the heater in the camper on Friday night.

-7 forecast tonight for Armidale...Didn't get there. Was up visiting the youngest. Had the CT with me but youngest "forced" me to sleep inside as they saw that forecast as well and didn't want dear old dad to ice up overnight.
